getting back to the game for S2 - which class for solo play

hi guys - I was always rather ultra casual D3 player, kinda play for 2 weeks, stop for 6 months.

I have skipped S1 but now I'm feeling like giving S2 a try. I'm assuming I'll be playing mostly solo but I would like to eventually get to the point where I can progress in T1-6 difficulties (I never got past T1 with gear I had)

my question is - which class would you recommend? I know the standard answer to play whichever class works for me, but I'm looking for a feedback which class is rather strong now and works with my solo playstyle. This I think also means no really gimmicky classes that only start to shine with a specific set pieces. I don't have any preferences, got all non seasonal 70lvl chars, just looking for something that will let me kill things fast without me being dead too often - so what would you guys suggest for S2?

You can solo T6 on any class, but like Cairhiin said, you will need set pieces and/or other specific legendaries on all of them.
You may want to stay away from the crusader, as he not only needs a full set, but also specific weapon and shield to really manage to play his style, while other classes only need a set, which is easier to obtain than weapons.

yeah - what I meant is on which class the journey to T6 is the least painful

thanks guys I read up a bit on this and I'll be going monk.
one thing to ask which will come of use at 70lvl - which stat combos should I go for on my gear? I might have missed that but I haven't seen a list with preferred ones.

It depends on your build but it's usually cut and dry: Dex - AR (900 to start, more if you need it, depends on the person) - Crit/Crit Damage/*insert elemental damage here*
